Support model: SDS011

Support firmware Version: after 2015.7.20

1、Protocol Configuration

Serial Port: 5V TTL, 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit
Data Packet（19bytes） ：Head+Command ID+Data(15bytes)+checksum+Tail
Checksum: Low 8bit of the sum result of Data Bytes（not including packet head, tail and
Command ID）.

2、Device ID Instruction

Need all sensor response：Set the ID bytes to FF FF in the command

Only need to specify sensor response：Set the ID bytes to the Sensor ID

3、Command

The command bytes in the instruction are hexadecimal byte data

1) Set data reporting mode

The setting is still effective after power off 【Factory default is active reporting】

Notes:
Report query mode：Sensor received query data command to report a measurement data.
Report active mode：Sensor automatically reports a measurement data in a work period.
Example:
PC sends command, query the current working mode:
AA B4 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF 00 AB
Sensor with ID A160 response:
AA C5 02 00 00 00 A1 60 03 AB Show the sensor is in report active mode.
AA C5 02 00 01 00 A1 60 04 AB Show the sensor is in report query mode.
PC sends command, set the sensor with ID A160 to report query mode:
AA B4 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 A1 60 05 AB
Sensor with ID A160 response:
AA C5 02 01 01 00 A1 60 05 AB Show the sensor is set to report query mode.

2) Query data command

Sensor received query data command to report a measurement data, recommended query
interval of not less than 3 seconds
